Pacific Investigation.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2.-The examina-
ton of Senator Stamford was resumed be
fore the Pacific commission today. Stand
ford's argument showed a deficiency of
about s., 600 per mile between actual cost
and government aid, and said the govern
ment should make this up.
Commissioner Anderson said: Senator
the belief is prevalent that the inability OF
the Central Pacific TO pay the government
Indebtedness arises from the fact that its
resources have been expended through
contracts let and work done by contrac' by
the Western Development d Pacific I'm
provement Co.
Senator Stanford replied that no money
belor ging TO the Central Pacific had been
diverted to any other corporation.

KANSAS CITx, Aug. 2.-The Western

night to fill the vacancy caused by the
withdrawal of the st. Joseph club. EN-
poria club was notified by telegraph that it
could come in on the basis of $50 guaran-

the offer it is highly likely that Wichita

There are hardly one-half the oysters here
now that there were thirty years ago."
This was the striking remark of Capt
David Sharrett, a veteran oysterman, in con.
versation about the oyster industry of Chesa-
peake bay.
"What is the cause of this decline, captainin
"Well, principally indiscriminate and reck-
less dredging in the bay and neglect of the
natural beds in the rivers and estuaries"
How do the dredges injure the beds?h
"They destroy the seed oysters. The
dredges take up everything, little and big
and the vessels carry it off l have seen car
goes of oysters sold for six cents a bushel IL
Baltimore, one-half of which were simply
seed oysters. These seed oysters, being toc
small to shuCk, are thrown away on the shell
piles and destroyed. This is going on con-
tinually, and is also true to a considerable ex-
tent of tho tongers as well as dredgers, who
supply the packing houses around this sec
ton Many millions OF bushels of oysters are
thus destroyed every year. The oyster rocks
are tom to pieces and scattered SO that in
some instances they never recover. Other
beds are buried in sand and mud or other
matter by the continuous dredging, and are 50
DESTROYED.
AT the north those engaged in the business
act very differently. There all seed oysters
are thrown back into the water and when
brought TO the packing houses by chance the
seed are carefully collected and returned to
the water to mature. l have no doubt that
in less than twenty years all the fancy oysters
used in this section and elsewhere will be
brought from New York and Connecticut. -

Strike of Asylum Attendants.

FULTON, Mo. August 2.-1esterday
morning the lady attendants at the state
lunatic asylum withdrew from the institu-
ton and sent far the board Of managers.
Mrs. Z. j. Wigginton, spokesman for the
strikers, said that fifteen female attendants
of the asylum had quit the employment Of
the asylum because Of the recent order of
the superintendent requiring them to keep
lights burning in the halls until O'Clock
and to remain with the patients IN the ward
until 10 o'clock at night
This order required all TO remain at work
until o'clock and it was impossible for
them TO 90 to work again at D This
change in the customs made patients so
unruly that the work of attendants
was doubly severe and instead of having
their evenings free TO attend church as
usual, the hardest part of the day came
after the usual working hours. Many OF
the attendants have been in the states en-
ploy for ten or twelve Years. 1t Is report
ed that male attendants refused to obey the
orders and locked up the patients and turn
cd out the lights at 9 o'clock as usual.
